Oh it will be multiplatform lol
We had the same discussions last year.
The only question is how long the timeframe is this time. Hopefully not a year but i doubt thats the case

Look no further than the Silent Hill collection.
That was such a trainwreck.
At this point we don't know anything - it's likely an exclusive but not guaranteed. If only PS4 is mentioned during the reveal, then it's absolutely a [timed] exclusive. All I'm saying here is that it's unlikely Activision has coordinated closely with Sony or they would not have selected this release date.
I've personally not played Skylanders due to a lack of interest in the series (I enjoyed Disney Infinity and Lego Dimensions) so I'm really just basing this off posts about Bobs for Toys lack of quality from posts I've seen over time on NeoGAF and even here on ResetERA. For example, this does not give me hope:
With BfT's technical capabilities being lower than VV, VV being the pioneers in advancing the series with additional controls such as a jump button and having the player be in control instead of cutting away every 30 seconds, it doesn't give me hope that BfT's could make a good remaster. The image quality is the biggest offender here, for me, as Spyro is a game that should look beautiful but it doesn't give me good confidence if there's the possibility that it will look worse than a game that released last June.
Right!? Kingdom Hearts' remasters had a bunch of problems due to the transition to 60fps, and it took them months to work out a bug when saving the game.
Dude we just saw what happened with Crash and there's no exclusive tag on box art as well.
Looks like a nice little lineup. If anyone can hold out until Black Friday, just wait for the discounts.
No shit, but tell Activision that. The box art says the games have been "remastered" even though everyone knows this and Crash were remade.
Doesn't mean there won't be any issues, and there is a history of remasters with issues.
When they only announce a PS4 version, i guarantee you that neither Sony or Activision will clear that situation up until they announce this for other platforms. We will maybe get some tweets, hints and leaks until the multiplatform announcement. Until then Sony will spread around BS that its PS4 exclusive, fanboys will deny that its coming to other platforms with statements like "its weird playing Spyro on Switch or Xbox" etc
I'm unfamiliar with TfB so I don't know how likely it would be for them to muck up a remaster of these three games.
Still excited for this collection nonetheless and I hope it turns out as well as Crash

Your best bet would be to look up their latest Skylanders game and see how it holds up technically.
The other concerns raised by that post are irrelevant, however.. I t doesn't matter if if their Skylander games tend to take away control more often or less, as they won't have such liberties in this case.
Skylanders aren't total dumbster fires, though. They are pretty adequate child oriented games. Like all the Lego games, they are simple but perfectly functional games that can be enjoyable experiences for people who don't expect them to be highly complex & deep big boy games. Biggest thing "wrong" about them is the whole toys to life thing that kind of limits the games unless you fork out more cash but that's more of a business model chosen by publisher problem, not develepors are total ass and can't design and develop a game if their lives depended on it problem.
I'm sure they are perfectly capable upgrading graphics and tweaking a thing here and there.
Not got disagreeing with statement that there could be issues but people calling it a Remastered is killing me.
I get that but point your anger and disappointment at Activision, not at people who choose to use the words selected by that corporation.
I think the box art looks real nice. And his facial expression is pretty accurate to how he's always been. Spyro got that 90s 'tude. :)
How so? Spyro it's already released. Spiderman atleast is something new.
Now throw in the goat racing game Forza Horizon and September is complete,
I played one of them as a kid and it wasn't hard to beat the game. If I had to compare it to a game I would say it's closer to a 3D Mario game where you have a level filled with mini games, various objectives and things to collect.
Crash was an A to B linear obstacle course.
For me it's because there aren't really many games made like Spyro while there's a bunch of open-world games out right now. No jab, at Spider-Man, I'm sure it'll be great.
So, is this going to be the huge hit Crash was? I liked the games as a kid, a lot more than Crash in fact, and a cute purple dragon is way more commercial than a nightmare fueled bandicoot. But is the nostalgia there for Spyro? Or is it even bigger because of Skylanders?
SE need to push Tomb Raider.

And the problem is? The Skylanders games are decent enough games and if you take issue with their art style, these remasters will obviously skew closer to the original's style than Skylanders, so that shouldn't be an issue. Plus they aren't working on a version for every platform imaginable (at first), so they can probably focus better on technical aspects as well.
VV has experience with Crash prior to N. Sane. They made GBA games and Nitro Kart.
Is this suffering a bit of a resetera fear mongering? Looking at the dev's last game, it didn't review too badly for a kids game (I know VV did the crash level). I don't know if it's really worth panicking over. Would hope to get some more opinions of the games in here rather than rely too much on one. If they are competent devs that make games that are good for kids but are supposedly not the best at level design, it could easily be fine.
They will. The media event is a great way to push out a trailer, gameplay videos, and articles from journalists playing it first hand. Soon after that the demo will hit E3, SDCC, and Gamescom before the game launches in September.
GameInformer might also do a cover story on the game with a month of exclusive coverage, or IGN can do one of their exclusive things on them (though I forget if it that's for first round of information about a game as opposed to what GameInformer does where they put out information about a game with information already out there).
I can see it do Crash Remake number but bigger than Skylanders at its peak. Hell no. The franchise was once worth 1 Billion dollars.
